Deletion request

Hi Guaka!
I really appreciate the work made here, but I have a request.
Can you please help me removing the page [deleted]?
The agency in which I work represents her, and for issues related to her image, we would prefer that the content were deleted.
I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance,
Adan.

Thank you!

Provenance

Ought there be a link to the Wikipedia article, even if deleted? Links to the AfD page(s) would be helpful too, as they sometimes have suggestions for how to improve an article. Ideally, the history of an article would be imported, not just a snapshot. I'm mentioning this prompted in part by a comment about license compliance but I think maintaining as much article provenance as possible would be genuinely useful.

I'll probably set up a github repo for it soon. But it slightly depends on the state of the Speedy Deletion Wiki bot code. Guaka (talk) 12:17, 27 December 2013 (GMT)

Hi Guaka.

I'm noticing pages the article FOX animated universe (nominated for deletion on November 6) is not automatically being imported from Wikipedia. Is there a procedure for doing this manually? Ideally I'd like this to carry the contributor history per GDFL requirements (and also to credit the contributors).

Thank you!

Thanks for creating this site. I hope to contribute and help as much as possible by cleaning up article errors that occurred when adopting them from the Wikipedia format so that they are readable to users. --TopbookclubTalk 23:58, 31 August 2016 (CEST)

Hi. Thank you for your work here. It appears article Wikipedia:Malena Morgan was deleted four times on English Wikipedia (the latest time after AfD 21:01, 3 April 2016 (UTC)) per this log, but it is not here and it appears never to have been here. What can be done about this? Jeff G. (talk) 04:38, 27 February 2017 (CET)

I figured out the problem, she is a porn star. Jeff G. (talk) 06:30, 15 March 2017 (CET)

What is your policy on vandalism? Vicki Calhoun has been blanked or substantially reduced three times already, and I don't see anything defamatory in it. Jeff G. (talk) 00:43, 15 March 2017 (CET)

Hi Jeff! I'm seeing some good edits from you here, thanks for that! My time for Deletionpedia is extremely limited so I promoted you to Admin now and I trust you to do the right things with these powers. The things you mention all make total sense. Let me know when you need me for something you can't do with the Admin rights.

Request for checkuser

Hi. Can you please checkuser the users who have been deleting sourced content from Michael Gastauer, with an eye toward blocking their rangeblock and informing their ISPs? Jeff G. (talk) 05:12, 31 March 2017 (CEST)

Talk pages

Some talk pages grow even if the respective article gets put up for AfD. To correct this I've started to manually copy-editing talk pages from Wikipedia AfD:s to here. I only copy the pages that have merits outside of Wikipedia. PsychoticInq (talk) 15:22, 6 August 2017 (CEST)

Speedy Deletion

Hi, I've noticed that speedily deleted articles aren't saved by the systems in place here. Is there anything we can do to save these also?
--ACA (talk) 16:57, 22 October 2017 (CEST)

Two ways to do this. 1. Admin account access to Wikipedia. 2. Immediately copy everything that is added.

In practice 1. would be a lot easier to implement but requires some social interaction. Guaka (talk) 09:35, 23 October 2017 (CEST)

I'm afraid that the admins are meant to implement the speedy deletion universally as a sort of punishment. The punishment being that you loose all your work and need to start over. So I think it might be hard to find admins that are willing to cooperate. However perhaps this will help, [[1]] Not sure if they all end up here but the pages can be grabbed from here once added.--ACA (talk) 23:33, 23 October 2017 (CEST)

Deletion Request?

Dear Guaka, First of all, I really appreciate all the work that you've done through deletionpedia--an important effort for preserving archives. I have a request: I was wondering if you could help remove the page [deleted] from the site? The page was deleted from Wikipedia, but the AfD discussion for this page was heated and can lead to some misunderstanding for the subject, who is someone I know, and I think that the real-world consequences of having the page might be negative. I really hope you can help! In the meantime, I've edited the page to diminish misunderstanding, but removing the page would be optimal. Thank you so much for your understanding!

Bringing back all the wikipedia deleted pages - ever!

Hi, first of all great work and a big thank you!
But as far as I understand, deletionpedia only includes articles deleted AFTER its creation in 2013,
I may have found a way to bring back all wikipedia articles ever deleted (and please correct me if I am wrong):

the wiki articles are never completely deleted: "When a page is deleted, its text remains in the text table but its metadata (e.g. its deleted revision history) is moved from the revision table to the archive table"
so we need only to have access to all the metadata of the archive table.
this is probably (but I am not sure) available here in the wikipedia complete dump:
